Baltlantis (2011)
Baltlantis was a telematic media environment. The concept was to create a metaphorical rendition of Atlantis by involving people I had met during my 3-month residency. I was influenced by Plato’s Atlantis representing a civilisations’ strive for power and greed, and eventual collapse. Baltlantis aimed to convey this story in a more playful environment, one which people can directly be involved in either making the story the same as the literary
account or given the opportunity to change it.
I utilised WATERWHEEL as an online, real-time venue, forum and stage for live, networked performance presentation and workshop rehearsals. WATERWHEEL is an interactive, collaborative platform for creating and sharing content around the theme of water.
